Episode 65: Ali Slater

On this episode of March Forth with Mike Bauman, Mike chats with Ali Slater! Based in NYC, Ali is a singer-songwriter who has been playing piano since she was a child. After giving up on music in college, Ali decided to kickstart her music dreams following the deaths of a coworker and her high school music teacher Joe Carbone during the pandemic. A big step towards that musical dream was her debut EP LUS!D, which just released on April 8th. The five-track EP shows off Ali's melodic and songwriting abilities as she gives listeners an honest take on her dating experiences with men. It's an authentic listen from front-to-back that's already catching the attention of pop-punk and emo fans. In this conversation, Ali speaks with Mike about how she got into music and the piano at a young age, the impetus behind her chasing her music dreams during the pandemic, connecting with producer Matt Squire, LUS!D, the abuse and mental health issues she's endured, and more.
